OK yes, Mercury is going to go retrograde (it will appear to go backwards in the sky) around 6 P Eastern on election night. AND the last time Mercury went retrograde – in fact the only time it went retrograde on a US election day was in 2000. (The one other time it was already in retrograde was in 1960.)

OK I have been getting questions this weekend about Sandy being the result of Mercury going retrograde on Election Day. In a word, nope. First, Mercury isn’t “stormy”.

Astrological Bucket Lists

Ever since the movie “Bucket List” came out in 2007, that phrase has inundated our lexicon. There are book bucket lists, travel bucket lists, food bucket lists; you name it. However, I have yet to see the most important bucket list mentioned anywhere. That is an Astrological Bucket List!

I always tell my clients that there is just no sense to going through all of the aggravation and energy of reincarnating just to repeat the same lessons. You did not want to go back to school every year and repeat the same grade. Why repeat the same life? Doesn’t make sense, does it?

By examining any one or all of these aspects in your chart:

A. Your ascendant or rising sign – your personality indicator

B. Your North Node, your marker for the lessons your soul is seeking to learn this time around

C. Your Pluto placement, the planet of transformation

I will create a personalized bucket list for you to get the most of your life.

This is the only bucket list you really need!

Are you ready to experience all of the joy of knowing you are fulfilling your astrological goals at once? Jump in today with a full analysis of your rising sign, Pluto and North Node bucket lists designed just for you and get a head start at leading your life in conjunction with the universe!

We have lost the art of appreciating and reading the stars as messengers from the god and goddess. Humanity has disconnected from its source and consequently suffers emotionally, spiritually and physically.”
